Norland Optical Adhesive 13685 is clear liquid adhesive that will cure when exposed long
wavelength ultraviolet light. NOA 13685 is recommended for bonding for glass to glass. Adhesion is
also good to cellulose acetate butyrate. NOA 13685 is cured by ultraviolet light between 315 to 395
nm. Full cure requires 6 Joules/cm 2 . The adhesive exhibits oxygen inhibition when used as a
coating. To overcome this the adhesive must be cured under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen.

Keep NOA 13685 in a cool(5-22 ° C) dark place. If refrigerated, allow the adhesive to come to room
temperature before using.
Care should be taken in handling the this material. The material Safety Data Sheet should be read for
this product. Prolonged contact with skin should be avoided and affected areas should be washed
